Council Member Hudson inquires about the number of home visits conducted by APS in the current fiscal year, particularly for assessing eligibility. The APS representatives explain that while they don't have the exact number of home visits, they have data on individuals referred and assessed.
- APS conducts assessments for all referred individuals
- The number of assessments is at least equal to the number of referrals
- Home visits are a crucial part of the assessment process
